It is only love that encompasses and permeates the entire world. None can exist without love even for a moment, be it human beings or animals or birds or insects. This love is the very form of God. But today, man is misusing this sacred love by diverting it toward the ephemeral world. Never underestimate the power of love. Our ancient sages, leading a life of solitude in dense forests, could live in harmony even with wild animals only because of the power of their love. There is nothing that love cannot achieve in this world. It can even melt the hardest of rocks.
